SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 668,207, dated February19, 1901.

Application led May 8, 1900. Serial No. 15,919. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM H. PICKETT, a citizen of the United States,residingat Warren, in the county of Warren and State of Pennsylvania,have invented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Latch and Lock,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to hasp-locks, the object of the same being toprovide an improved 1o construction whereby the use of separable locksfor securing hasps in position may be dispensed with.

It is a Well-known fact that when the ordinary padlock is employed forsecuring a hasp x5 in place upon its keeper it is necessary to removethe padlock from the keeper in order to disconnect the hasp therefrom.There is always danger of losing the padlock, and my invention isdesigned for overcoming this obzo jection by forming in the hasp itselfa lock by which it may be secured to its keeper.-

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear,and the novel features thereof will be set forth in the claims. In thedrawings forming part of this speciiication, Figure 1. is a perspectiveView illustrative of my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation ofthe same. Fig. 3 is an end view of the hasp shown in locking engagementwith 3o the keeper, and Fig. t is a View of the key.

Like reference-numerals indicate like parts in the different views.

The hasp 1 is pivoted at one end to one of the parts with which it isdesigned to coperate and is formed with a hooked end 2 opposite thepoint of its pivotal connection. This hooked end is designed to t over astaple 3 or other keeper and to be locked thereto by a locking-bolt e,which is pivoted to the 4o body of the hasp and is adapted to fit withina recess or pocket 5 in said hasp when in its retracted position. Thefree end of the bolt 4 is provided with a shoulder 6, leading up towhich is an inclined or beveled face 7. A coil-spring 8, wholly orpartially surrounding the pivot of the boltA., is secured at one end tosaid bolt and at its other end to the hasp 1 and serves to normally urgethe bolt 4L back into the recess 5. As the said bolt when in 5o itsretracted position fits wholly Within the recess 5, some means must beprovided for moving the same therefrom in order that it may be turnedaround into its locking plosition across the opening leading into thehooked end 2 of the hasp 1. The means pro- 55 vided by me consists of apin 9, extending into the recess 5, behind the bolt 4, and adapted to bepressed inwardly, so as to force said bolt out of said recess. Theopposite end of said pin 9 may be headed or formed with shoulders inorder to prevent the disconnection of the same from the body of thehasp 1. The hooked end 2 of the hasp is hollow and constitutes thelock-casing. In said casing is pivotally mounted at 10 the tumbler 11,65 having a hook or shoulder 12 upon the lower end thereof, which isdesigned to cooperate with the shoulder 6 on the locking-bolt 4 forretaining said bolt in its locking position. Adjacent to the shoulder 12is an inclined or 7o beveled surface 13, which is engaged by theinclined or beveled surface 7 of the bolt 4 for moving the free orlocking end of the tumbler 1l outwardly to permit of the engagementbetween the shoulders 12 and 6. A 75 spring 14 acts upon the tumbler 11for holding the engaging end of said tumbler containing the shoulder 12within the path of movement of the bolt 4. The end of the tumbler 11opposite the shoulder 12 is also formed 8o with a recess 15, in whichfits a tooth 16 on the upper end of a tumbler 17, fulcrumed at 18 to theside walls of the lock-casing. rlhe lower end of the tumbler 17 normallybears against the side of a key-hub 19, mounted to turn in the sides ofthe casing and adapted to be rotated by the key of the lock. Adjacent tothe hub 19 is a slot 20, in which the lateral projection on the key isadapted to fit. From the foregoing description it will be 9o observedthat when the parts of the device are in their normal positions,unlocked, the bolt f1 lies within and is inclosed by the recess 5 in thebody of the hasp 1 and that the shoulder 12 on the tumbler 11 lieswithin the 95 path of movement of the bolt 4., being maintained in thisposition by the action of the spring 14 on said tumbler. If the pin 9 beIOO entrance to the opening leading into the hooked end 2 of the hasp.When the inclined wall 7 comes in contact with the inclined wall 13, theengaging end of the tum bler 11 will be moved outwardly against theaction of the spring 14 and permit the shoulders 6 and 12 to be broughtinto locking engagement with each other. When this takes place, the bolt4 is maintained in its locking position and disconnection of the hasp 1from the keeper 3 is effeotually prevented. To unlock the hasp, a key ofproper size and shape is inserted into the key-hub 19 and turned so thatthe lateral web or projection on said key will be brought intoengagement with the in-` ner edge of the lower end of the tumbler 17.The effect of thiswill be to throw outwardly and upwardly the lower endof the tumbler 17 and throw downwardly the upper end thereof, on whichisformed the tooth 16. Said tooth, however, fitting within the notch orrecess 15 in the tumbler l1 engages the upper end of said tumbler,forces the same downwardly, and vthrows outwardly the lower end thereof,thereby disengaging the shoulder 12 on said tumbler from the shoulder 6on the bolt 4. The instant said bolt is re leased by the means describedit is thrown rearwardly into the recess or socket 5 by the action of thespring 8, which is connected thereto. It will thus be seen that the haspmay be readily locked to the keeper with which it cooperates without theuse of a padlock or other separable lock and that said hasp may beunlocked from its keeper in a simple and convenient manner.

Having now described my invention, what lI claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters position and adapted to be swung therefrom through thesaid open side and end, and means for retaining said bolt in lockingposition outside said pocket.

2. The combination with a hasp having a pocket therein and a keepertherefor, of a pivotally-mounted locking-bolt lying within said pocketwhen in its unlocked position, means for retaining said bolt in lockingposition outside said pocket, and a spring acting upon said bolt formoving the same from its locking position back into said pocket.

3. The combination with a hasp having a hooked end and a pocket in thebody of said hasp adjacent to said hooked end, and a keeper with whichsaid hooked end coperates, of a pivotally-mounted locking-bolt lyingwithin said pocket when in its unlocked position, and meansA forretaining said bolt in locking position outside said pocket and acrossthe opening leading into said hooked end.

4. The combination with a hasp having a hooked end and a pocket in thebody of said hasp adjacent to said hooked end and a keeper with whichsaid hooked end cooperates, of a locking-bolt pivoted to said hasp,adapted to fit within and be inclosed by said pocket, means forretaining said bolt in locking position across the opening leading intosaid hooked end, and a spring acting upon said bolt for moving the samefrom its locking position into said pocket.

5. The combination with a hasp having a hooked end and a pocket in thebody of said hasp adjacent to said hooked end and a keeper with whichsaid hooked end cooperates, of a locking-bolt pivoted to said hasp,adapted to t within and be inclosed by said pocket, means for retainingsaid bolt in locking position across the opening leading into saidhooked end, a spring acting upon said bolt for moving said bolt from itslocking position into said pocket, and a movable pin extending into saidpocket behind said bolt, as and for the purpose set forth.

6. The combination with a hasp having a hooked end made hollowr andconstituting a lock-casing, and a keeper with which said hooked endcooperates, of a pivotally-mountedlocking-bolt on said hasp adapted tobe moved across the opening leading into said hooked end and providedwith ashoulder on its free end, two cooperating tumblers in saidlock-casing, one of which is provided with a shoulder adapted to engagethe shoulder on said bolt for maintaining the latter in lockingposition, a spring for normally maintaining the shouldered end of saidtumbler Within the path of movement of said bolt, and a rotary key-hubadjacent to the other of said tumblers, the latter being adapted to beengaged by a key introduced into said hub for the purpose of releasingthe interlocking shoulders on the rst tumbler and on said bolt.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
